Code of Conduct

ATTENDANCE AND LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Attendance will be marked at the beginning of each period by the teacher engaging the class. Late-comers may be given or refused attendance for the period, or marked late, at the discretion of the teacher concerned. If a student is absent for one hour, it will be treated as absence for half a day and if his absence is for two or more hours, it will be treated as absence for one full day.

A student requiring leave for a particular period may be granted such leave by the teacher concerned. Application for leave for more than a period must be made to the Principal in the prescribed form by 10 a.m. When absence is due to some unforeseen cause, the application should be submitted as early as possible, and in no case later than the first day of the student’s return to the college.

Absence without leave from any examination or from the composition or practical work will be reported by the teachers concerned to the Principal.Leave of absence from a term examination should be obtained from the Principal.

A student absenting himself from the college even for a day should submit the leave application to the Principal, duly signed by the lecturer in-charge.

A student absenting himself for a period exceeding five working days, whether with leave or without leave, should on his return to the college, report to the Principal.

A student absenting himself without leave for more than ten consecutive days will have his name removed from the rolls and he may be re-admitted on payment of college dues, if any.

Application for leave must be countersigned by the student’s guardian and recommended by the Tutor or the Teacher-in- charge of attendance or the H.O.D. and is to be submitted to the principal immediately after the return from his/her leave. For hostel students, the warden’s recommendation is sufficient.

Nothing is more appreciated in a student than courteous and mannerly behaviour. Greet your teachers when you meet them inside and outside the campus.

Students are expected to spend their free hours in the Library/Reading Room. They should not loiter along the verandahs or crowd at the gate or in the main road.
